Bio

Alexa Yeames is a New York City-based actor, recently transplanted from the Southeast. She's been lucky enough to have successfully hounded her parents to let her act from a young age, starting professionally at 13. Since then, Alexa has accumulated an extensive credit list, including lead roles in over two dozen independent feature and short films which have garnered her various awards and nominations for her acting work. Alexa has also been able to work on larger projects, like The CW Network's "The Originals" (as the recurring character Abigail) and The Hallmark Channel's film, "The Shunning" (where she played the younger version of ER's Sherry Stringfield). She can also be seen in theaters nationwide next fall with the release of the film "Field of Lost Shoes", where she had the privilege to work with such amazing actors as Tom Skerritt, Keith David, Jason Isaacs, and Nolan Gould.

Alexa was a National Semi-Finalist at the English Speaking Union's Shakespeare Competition in 2011, and had the opportunity to show her work on the Beaumont Stage at Lincoln Center. She graduated from the highly selective high school Drama program at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts in 2012, and that year was also invited to speak at TEDxRaleigh about Shakespeare and the female characters in his work and how they have shaped her as a growing actor. Alexa is also a 2012 Merit Award Winner from the Young Arts Foundation, and the National Foundation for the Advancement of the Arts.

Alexa currently resides in New York City in a closet-sized apartment, and is content beyond belief.
